Abstract: A digital level shifter for driving the input of a
scaled P-channel driver device within a voltage shifted
range to preclude gate-oxide breakdown of the scaled
driver device. The scaled driver device has an output
operative within an elevated voltage range, so that the
voltage shifted range biases the voltage associated with
a logic signal from a lower voltage level to an
intermediate level to preclude gate-oxide breakdown and
protect the scaled driver device. The digital level
shifter is implemented using digital devices thereby
avoiding analog bias devices. The digital level shifter
and the scaled driver device may be implemented on the
same integrated circuit (IC) and fabricated using the
same process as core circuitry so that the IC may
directly interface external devices operating at elevated
voltage levels without damaging the core circuitry or the
scaled driver device.
